OK, thanks for that, Clear. I went through the process on the ATO - for those others complaining, it's a quick process to fill in their…

You're being ripped off, AliExpress only charges me 17.5% GST. ;-) I don't know how they get away with this.

The Samsung S10e is the closest in size and quality to the S7, if you're willing to buy 2nd hand. It is old, though, so you won't get…

I bought an Asus RT-AX86U Pro 2 years ago, but if I was buying something now, I'd get the Flint 2, especially if I were running Wireguard.

Good deal, makes the comparable Asus RT-AX86U Pro look expensive at $135 more.

Nothing on my watch list.

I'm a righty, by use the mouse with my left hand, right hand is for the keyboard. Perixx makes decent cheap left handed vertical mice.

Should offset the 17% GST rate AliExpress has been charging Australians recently.

AliExpress 17.5% GST rate is starting to annoy me.

Yeah, I paid $199 for an A grade 7390 last year, same specs, but bigger screen. I'd check with the seller here about the screen resolution,…

Surely all this blacklisting of phones under the guise of the 3G shutdown must make it hard for tourists to use their phones here?

The Band 10 was released a month ago with a brighter screen and better health features, hence the discounts on the Band 9.

The big factor is there is almost a duopoly in HDDs now, very little competition so no reason to compete on price or features.

Yeah, it gets complex. Often with cards you need to balance higher fixed fees or better exchange rates.

Even the used server Xeons that I've bought from AliExpress have been fine - well packaged too. Ali has better customer service than Ebay…

Bunnings free delivery only for items less than 2kgs.

The battery is easily swap-able so you can carry a spare.

Yes, they are pretty good. Worth reading the manual for all the weird modes it has. Only downside is that you need a particularly long USB…

Much of the world's economy is now services (software, call centres, accounting etc), not goods. These tariffs only apply to physical…

Checkout the retired pollies who work there. The NSW bureaucrats who negotiated the deal with TransUrban now work there too.

Linux should work just fine. These Hackintosh pretty well, too.

OP, thanks for making the RAM upgrade option!

I don't know about this particular system - no idea what its boot options are. It also depends on the NAS OS. UnRAID is pretty flexible.…

Yes, this will likely be the first point of failure. Put the OS on one of the NVMe drives rather.

Yes, I agree. The speed of the storage (4x 2 GB/s for PCIe 3 x2) and that of the network interfaces (2 x 0.25GB/s) is rather mismatched.…

Look at the dBA part of the specification. This tells you how much sound they make.

A Data General Nova 1200 (computer from 1969) bought at auction for a dollar. It was the fast model, the 1200 referred to the 1200ns…

No, but if you own a deep ocean submersible these are rated to Titanic depths.

Noctua fans are made by Yen Sun Technology aka Y.S. Tech.

They are still very good, but pricey and the competition has caught up. Not made in Austria anymore, but made in China. You can find the…
